 my point being it was a fun (albeit short) transitional period for visual design where we got our cake and ate it too. the readability of flat while retaining the personality of earlier design.  @samhenrigold I maintain that the Zune HD (2010ish) was actually peak UI and every trend since then has brought us further from god.  @samhenrigold perhaps the internet has just conditioned me for negativity, but I initially thought you were saying that these designed had committed some major sin by pursuing flatness without really understanding it. And I kept thinking "I don't know, I kind of like it!" and wondering what was wrong with me 😁 Glad to know you like it too 👍   @samhenrigold my first summer being a PM, I had an app in this semi-flat style with a full design finished and build in progress. That was early June 2014. And then WWDC happened. Design scrapped.  @samhenrigold Twitterrific 5 was released in December 2012, and we definitely had our cake and ate it all up. https://web.archive.org/web/20121221012859/http://twitterrific.com/ios |
“those all look pretty iOS 6-ish, sam. i think that's just standard for the period”
